Based on your requirements, I recommend considering the Synology DS220+ or DS423+ for your first NAS. Both models are suitable for your needs and offer excellent performance. The DS220+ is a two-bay NAS, while the DS423+ is a four-bay NAS, providing greater storage expandability. You can use either model as a home network share for your digitized music and movies, transfer and store your photos from various sources, manage your GoPro adventure sports videos, and create a repository for your documents. Additionally, they can serve as a server for running Homebridge and WebdavNAV for backing up Omnifocus. While you don't have experience with Docker/VMs, Synology NAS devices offer user-friendly interfaces, making it easy to set up and manage your services without extensive technical knowledge.
